Virtual Offerings

Supporting You Virtually

Many of you have been long-time friends of Metta Integrative Wellness Center. Never before have we been closed for more than a holiday, let alone weeks. We are eagerly looking forward to being able to return to full service. In the meantime, many of our practitioners have found impactful and meaningful ways to share their services virtually.

Below is a list of virtual healing services and resources available from Metta practitioners, including movement classes, talk therapy, energy healing, physical therapy and more. Please enjoy these offerings and, if you are able, consider supporting Metta to help us manage our basic expenses by making a donation via paypal or by purchasing a gift card online.

Scroll down to learn how to engage with (and support) your favorite practitioner directly, or browse all of these offerings for what best fits your needs. Please check back regularly as offerings may be added or changed.

Energy Healing with Nyesha Roberts, RMP

“Outside of massage therapy and working with the physical human body, I also work with the energy body to clear stagnant energy and align chakras and aura with Reiki. I am a master in Usui Reiki and a master in Sekhem Seichim Reiki. These are subtle but dynamic forms of energy work that support and improve the immune system, and mind and soul.

I also offer spiritual guidence through “yes or no” pendulum readings, which is quick and concise access to make decisions from the highest good and make reasonable and helpful judgements of outcomes. In conjuction, I am also an Akashic Records Reader, which is access to all of human events, thoughts, words, emotions and intent ever to have occured in past, present or future, also known and The Book Of Life.”

Laura is offering one-on-one telerehab for clients with women’s/pelvic health needs at $50 for 30 minutes or $100 for 60 minutes. It is likely that she can offer receipts for insurance reimbursement and will have more information about appropriate coding in the coming days.

Virtual Telehealth Sessions with Nathalie Savell, LCPC

“It’s important during this time to get support, since many peoples’ mental health is being impacted by the lifestyle changes and uncertainty. Or maybe you have some extra time to start investigating things about yourself that you’ve been wanting to change. Or maybe it’s a combination of both. I’m happy to hold space for you to vent, process, or strategize and support you to navigate whatever challenges you are facing.”

Nathalie is accepting any BCBS plan or card payments via square invoices. See her website for contact info and more about her practice.www.upwardspiralwellness.com

Beemore Conscious Herbal Products by Esra Seniz, LMT

Esra is a massage therapist at Metta and an herbalist who completed a program on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. She is currently working with her business partner Haley Denton. Together they started a project called Beemore Conscious, a Baltimore apothecary using local and organic products to produce conscious healing through medicines, candles and more. Some of these items include fire cider, elderberry syrup and elderberry Kombucha, usnea tinctures which support respiratory health, and Tulsi tinctures, a wonderful adaptogenic herb great for managing stress during this chaotic time. Their mission is to work together as a collective community to promote health and healing!

Metta is temporarily closed from March 17th until further notice due to the Covid 19 Pandemic.

As a small business supporting nearly 20 practitioners, many of whom have families to support, this has been a very difficult decision to make. The possibility that we could unintentionally put a client, or many, at risk and thereby continue the coronavirus spread is too much for us to allow. Our interconnectedness is so abundantly obvious right now and in socially distancing we demonstrate our love and respect for one another.

As we have stated many times before, there are no words to express the gratitude and appreciation that we have for all of you who have been a part of our Metta family over the years. Your support has made us what we are. Any continued support during these financially difficult times would be hugely impactful in helping to keep us afloat. Please consider purchasing gift cards though our website, or, if you have the means, donating to our center. (see link below)

In the meantime, many of our practitioners have found impactful and meaningful ways to share their services virtually. Below is a link to virtual healing services and resources available from Metta practitioners, including movement classes, talk therapy, energy healing, physical therapy and more. Please enjoy these offerings and consider supporting these amazing independent practitioners.
